Coloured bath resurfacing in Boars Hill

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Boars Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Boars Hill

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Boars Hill. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Boars Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Boars Hill

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Boars Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Boars Hill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Boars Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
